She looked at Ein with contempt.
– Now you will be here, – she said. – And you will do everything that we tell you. Otherwise, you won't feel well.
Ein was still in a state of shock. He didn't understand who these people were and what they wanted from him. He looked at Nia with fright, as if seeking protection from her. “I must help him,” she thought.
Nia felt a pang of sympathy for him. She knew what it meant to be lost and helpless in this crazy world.
But she couldn't do anything. She was a prisoner, like him. And if she tried to help him, she would only bring down the wrath of Lira and her cronies upon herself.
Having lived for some time under one roof, in constant fear and tension, Nia and Ein realized that they were in roughly the same conditions. They were both prisoners of Lira, both remembered nothing about their past, and both were desperately trying to survive. “We are together. And together we can break free,” the girl constantly thought.
They began to talk, sharing their thoughts and feelings. But Nia was cautious. She had learned not to trust anyone in this crazy world.
Having once made a mistake with trust, Nia decided not to tell Ein the whole truth about herself. She didn't tell him that her flash drive and bag remained in the hospital, from which she had fled, forgetting about her things. She told him that she had taken nothing from the street on which she had found herself.
Ein, in turn, told Nia his story. He said that he had awakened in the same alley as she. Immediately after his appearance, Lira appeared nearby, who said that she knew him and would take him to a safe place. The name Ein she also came up with for him herself. A trap. She was laying nets.
Nia listened to him with great attention, but doubt crept into her soul. Why had Lira found such a lost and unremembering person? And why did she need them?
Nia told Ein that she also didn't remember her real name. She said that this name had come to her head when she woke up in the alley, and since she didn't remember her real name, she decided that she would consider the name Nia to be hers.
They both understood that Lira was hiding something. That she was using them for some purpose of her own. But what were these goals? And how could they get out of this trap?
